Title: [x] [3041] [Linux] System dialogs do not open (e.g., export playlist)
Post by: RyzenFromFire on February 19, 2026, 01:44:44
I am encountering an issue where no system dialog triggered by AIMP will open. For example, if I want to export a playlist, or open my file explorer to add new files to a playlist. Original AIMP dialogs, like Preferences and New Playlist, seem to work. Dragging files into the playlist seems to work.

I am running Endeavour OS (Arch Linux-based) with KDE Plasma 6.6.0, using Wayland, with Linux kernel 6.18.9-arch1-2, 64-bit. Just updated my system today.

I have tested AIMP version 3035 (current version from AUR), 3038 and 3041 (from nightly builds folder). All of them have this issue. The issue is not present on AIMP version 3030. I was unable to test other versions as I don't have the files. Somewhere between 3030 and 3035, this issue appeared. I can test other versions if you provide the pkg.tar.zst file.

I tried launching AIMP through the console, and looking at the output, but nothing appeared. Per this topic (https://aimp.ru/forum/index.php?topic=77266.0) I also tried installing libappindicator, but the latest version was already installed.

You can download it from nightly builds: https://aimp.ru/?do=download&os=windows&cat=nightly

Yes, this is where I downloaded 3030, 3038, 3041. I didn't test 3040 although I see it is there. There isn't anything between 3030 and 3038. 3035 is from AUR. Maybe I could get older ones from AUR, not sure.

So, 3041 does not work too? Do you have any warnings / errors output in console?

Correct. 3035 and later does not work. That includes 3041. As I stated in the original post, there is no relevant console output when running AIMP from the terminal.

Since 3031 we've migrated from Gtk2 to Gtk3. I'll look at that.

I've installed EndeavourOS Ganymede-Neo-2026.01.12 with KDE at VirtualBox, and it seems 3041 build works fine on it. All dialogs appears correctly.

I suggest you to try to re-install all gtk3 modules

I have the following gtk related modules:

$ pacman -Q | grep gtk
breeze-gtk 6.6.0-1
gtk-doc 1.35.1-1
gtk-update-icon-cache 1:4.20.3-1
gtk-vnc 1.5.0-1
gtk2 2.24.33-5
gtk3 1:3.24.51-1
gtk4 1:4.20.3-1
gtkmm-4.0 4.20.0-1
gtkmm3 3.24.10-1
gtksourceview3 1:3.24.11+r30+gd880929f-1
gtksourceview4 4.8.4-2
kde-gtk-config 6.6.0-1
libdbusmenu-gtk3 18.10.20180917-1
libnma-gtk4 1.10.6-3
qemu-ui-gtk 10.2.0-2
spice-gtk 0.42-5
webkit2gtk-4.1 2.50.5-1
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.15.3-1


I tried reinstalling gtk3 and gtkmm3 as well as xdg-desktop-portal-kde. This did not work. All those packages were also already up to date.

Moreover, I created a fresh VM with the same version as you (EndeavourOS Ganymede-Neo-2026.01.12 with KDE on Wayland) and I was able to reproduce the bug on 3035 and 3041, but the bug didn't occur on 3030. I also confirmed that for each GTK package installed on the VM, the version was the same as my actual system. Did you specifically try "Export playlist" or "Import playlist"? I'm not sure what other actions trigger a system dialog off the top of my head, but I tested those and the bug occurs for them. I would provide a screenshot but since nothing appears I don't think it'll be helpful.

Can you try 3030 on your VM? I don't know if that would do anything different. I can try 3031 if you upload the pkg.tar.zst, to confirm that it's the switch from gtk2 to gtk3 that's causing the issue. If you have a debug build that prints additional information to the terminal, I could also try that. Just to confirm, I am running aimp from the console simply with /usr/bin/aimp. If there's a different way I should run it, let me know.

Got it! It seems that "Export Playlist" command breaks all system dialogs. Adding / Import works correctly until I invoke the Export command. Let me sometime for research.

Yep, it seems bug in wrapper class for save dialog type that break all system dialogs wrappers

I just tried build 3042. Initially, the issue seemed to be fixed. But I coincidentally noticed that if you try to export a playlist, but hit cancel without saving the playlist to a file (or otherwise exit the dialog), the dialogs still break. That is, exports or imports after the first export don't show. Restarting the application seems to be a passable workaround. But I'd recommend taking another look at it, since the behavior doesn't seem to be fully patched and might cause issues later.

May be, it something OS specific. I've tried on Alt (Gnome), Mint (Cinnamon), Manjaro (KDE) and Debian (XFCE). Dialog works fine for selection and cancellation. Let me sometime to install Endeavour OS  again.

Strange. I wouldn't think there should be any substantial difference between Manjaro KDE and Endeavour KDE as they are both Arch based. Although if you are using X11 and not Wayland on Manjaro, that might do it. I'm using Wayland on Endeavour.

No, in my case, X11 is used only in Debian (XFCE).

Seems to be fixed in 3043. Thanks again.
